Looks like Arsenal have agreed terms to sign Ashley Williams.

Wow, hardly either is a surprise. Been on the cards of weeks. Glad for Oli though he has a new club.

Cardiff allegedly in for Danny Graham from Sunlan - How many strikers have they got / do they need????????????

Dont see that one myself. Especially after what Danny Graham said when he left Swansea City.

Romelu Lukaku says that IF Chelsea loan him out again next season he wants to try German club Borussia Dortmund.

I'm sure he does

 

[kccircle]

I'd be surprised if Graham went to Cardiff. I spotted that on the gossip page too. I think it is a non-starter. He isn't anywhere near Premier League quality in my opinion even before we look at the Cardiff/Swansea rivalry with this player

With a record of W/3 D/3 L/3 as caretaker manager of Blackburn, Gary Bowyer is now being given the job on a permanent basis.

Mental.

If you can ever call the Blackburn manager's job permanent, that is.

Indeed.

Rafa Benitez is the new manager at Napoli.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

WBA lead the cahse for Stoke striker Kenwyn Jones who has been on the wish list of PL new boys Cardiff City.

 

[John. Walkington.]

Rafa Benitez is the new manager at Napoli.

Am surprised, thought they were going after Andre Villas-Boas of Spurs.
In fact I thought Andros Townsend had put money on it.

 

[John. Walkington.]

Mike Phelan left Man United.
Moyes to get in his own backroom staff, maybe Phil Neville?

Neymar to Barca for £32m, now confirmed by Santos.

He doesn't look like a £32m player to me.

So watch him rip everyone apart next season...

 

[Spanner82]

I heard Santos had accepted a bid from Barca for £28m and a bid from Real for £35m so it was up to Neymar to decide

 

[Murdoc]

Neymar to Barca for £32m, now confirmed by Santos.

He doesn't look like a £32m player to me.

So watch him rip everyone apart next season...

I think it's a Wilfried Zaha scenario. The potential is there, but unless he moves to a top Club with better training staff/facilities and players around him, he won't get any better than he is.

Should Neymar move to either one of Real Madrid or Barcelona, I think they'll make him a more mature player and how to use his talents better.

Jose Mourinho, wants Luka Modric, 27, to follow him from Madrid to Stamford Bridge if the Portuguese is appointed manager of Chelsea.


He was an idiot for going to Real Madrid in the first place...

Imagine if Chelsea played with Hazard, Mata and Modric just behind a new striker.. **** that'd be good!

I already thought they'd win the Prem next season, but if they got Modric that would just make me absolutely certain of it.
